So, obviousley a little time has passed since our last post, but we have spent the last couple of months just working and getting through winter. It's now the end of March and still spring is nowhere in sight. We have deep piles of snow everywhere and the temperatures rarely get above zero. It seemed like a good time to get away from it all for a while and that is how we find ourselves here in Montgomery, Alabama. The temperatures are quite a bit warmer and there is no snow in sight. We are here to spend a little time visiting with Nicole and Chris and seeing what their life is like here in Alabama. We arrived on Friday morning after an all night flight via Toronto and Calgary and we spent the rest of the day resting up. On Saturday we did a little shopping and touring around the neighbourhoods looking at the interesting houses and various sights. Yesterday was Sunday and so we went to Nikki and Chris church, Fresh Annointings where we enjoyed the service and I was even able to play my sax during worship time. We then went out for an afternoon lunch with the pastor and his wife and spent some time getting to know them. Other than that we have been just relaxing around the apartment, visiting, watching movies and just chillin' out. It's kind of nice not to have much of an agenda and just spend time doing nothing. It's great not to have to go to work. We have kind of a loose schedule for the rest of the week and will mostly play it by ear until Saturday when we have to drive back to Atlanta to catch our flight home early on Sunday morning. We have booked a hotel near the airport and will check in there sometime Saturday afternoon. Our flight leaves at 6:00 am so we will have to be at the airport by 4:00 am and should arrive back home in Edmonton around 3:30 pm local time, probably to a batch of newly fallen snow.
